|T WTU. MEET IN CHICAGO AND BE
AN IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY.

and' the Prominent People Who Will

jjH H announce
ment has .'recent
ly been mada in
an official man
ner that, al
though the con
gress of members
oi the Roman
Catholio church
in America—both
lay and cleric—
that is to be held
tt CMoago daring 1899 is yet months in
the future, tbe prograinmo for the meet-
Uttghas been arranged,
this eongtnes will in many respects
the most important that has been
held in the United States. The policy
iof holding those meetings of lay church
men Is an old one in Europo, more espe
cially in BHnoo and Belgium, but it is
as yet new to Roman Catholics of Amer
ica. They were "brought about largely
through the infiuencO of Cardinal* Gib
bons.
; Tbe first congress was held in Balti
more in 1889 said Was \a every way a
notable gathering. Mote than seventy
arch bishops and bishops were present, in
addition to Cardinal Gibbons and Mgr.
ttetolli, the papal ablegate. Every, stato
aud territory in the United States wus
E seated in the congress, and the then
c minister of Quebec, Hon. Honori
tier, was among the delegut.es. The
success of the congress was great, and
the idea of making these meetings a per
manent feature in this country met with
Immediate favor.
, Three of the most distinguished mem
bers of the congress of 1889 are now
'dead. These are Daniel Dougherty, the
fatuous orator; United States Senator
JjfrancJs D. Kernan, of New York, and
John Gdlmary Shea, the eminent his
torian. But despite the loss of these
men the coming congress will unques
tionably bo a mjiwt brilliant ono.
j The essential feature of these con
gresses is that, unlike tbe recent council
of archbishops in lxew York and other
Catholio ohurch councils, they are domi
nated try laymen. The clergypartici
pate, but they do not control. The dele
gates to the congress are nominally
named by the bishops of the various dio
ceses that they represent, but in reality
are selected by leading . laymen. Nor
have the church officials anything to do
with arranging the programme of the
meetings. However, it is the custom of
the leaders prior to holding a congress
to lav their plans before the ruling
church officials for their approval. In
this way the Chicago programme was
as » formal matter of respect laid before
the archbishops of the church at their
late meeting in New York city and was
by them approved.
( "The Chicago congress will be a big
affair in point of numbers, for there
may be present from 1,600 to 2,000 dole
gates aside from church officials and
invited guests. Under the rules that
will govern the congress ten delegatea
may attend from eaoh diocese or aroh
diooese of vicariate apostolic, with five
additional for every 29,000 of the Cath
olic population in each diocese. As this
plan will give the great city of Now
York, with its iinmeflso Catholio popula
tion, over 150 delegates, and Boston,
Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago and
other cities almost as many, and as every
Catholic university, college and semi
nary may also seno delegates, it will be
seen at once that it will require a large
nail to hold them all.
; As for tbe programme of the congress,
it is simple enough. It will in no man
ner savor of politics or secripmliura, tbe
sole aim being to advance the interests
of the Catholio church along all legiti
mate lines. Tho school question in all
its phases will be a prominent subject
for discussion, as will socialism in the
light of Pope Leo's most recent pronuoci
amento on that question in rebuke of the
modem anatcniaticaUy inclined school
of socialists.
: gut the main feature of tho congress
will be patriotism and Axnerioahisni. Otil
er Hubjocte will be secondary. Coincident
as the congress will be, and in the same
city with the Columbian celebration, it
has been decided by the committee that

L *
the Chicago Congress, Among these
will be that of John Lee Carroll, of
Maryland, of tbe famous family of "Car
rolls of Cairo 11 ton," among whose mem
bers in this country were not only a
signer of tile Declaration of Independ
ence, but also John Carroll, the first
bishop gf Baltimore, and for that mat
ter in the United States, which was at
the time of his appointment within his
archippisoopal l territory. It was Pope
Pius VI who in a special bull oreated
tho hierarchy ot the United States in
1789, and it was Ita 1700 that John Car
roll was oonsecralied bishop in the chapel
of Lnlworth castle, England, and wus
sent to rule, over the Catholics in the
new republio of which* George Wash
ington had been inaugurated first presi
dent hot a year before.
At that tbne there wore in the United
States 40,000 Oattiollcß, thirty priests, one
college and no Cat-holio asylum or hos
pital. The Carroll of today lives in a
year when Catholic churches are to be
found from Florida to Alaska and from
northernmost Maine to tho Rio Grando
—in fact, wherever the flag of tho United
States waves. For that matter tho is
lands that Columbus, first saw are now a
part of the Roman Cathobo archdiocese
of New York, co many changes have been
wrought between the times of John Car
roll, first arohbishop of Baltimore, and
the present John Lee Carroll, his name
sake, who is also—as his naino indicates
—a connection of the "Virginia Lees."
Another historic nime is that of
Charles J. Bonaporie, also of Maryland,
and a leading lawyer of Baltimore, the
grandson of Elisabeth Patterson, of Bal
timore, and her husband, Prince Jerome
Bonaparto, brother of the great emperor,
who wero married in Baltimore in 1808
by Bishop John Carroll, before spoken of.
But there is no lack of other laymen
of prominence who will bo present in the
Chicago congress.
Among these will be William J. Qpa
han, of Chicago, a man of affairs in that
city and a writer of no mean order. He
was chairman of tho committee that
called the first Catholic congress ot 1889.
Another distinguished Catholic who was
a member ia Henry J. Spaundhorst, who,
as his name shows, iB a German and
perhaps the most influential of German-
American Catholics, while yet another
ia Daniel H. Rudd, of Cincinnati.
EYAS AND IRELAND.
Maurice Francis Egan, formerly ed
itor of the New York Freeman's Journal,
latterly a professor of literature in Notre
Dame college, Indiana, a poet, novelist
and scholar, will be another delegato,
and he will be in good company, for sev
eral weU known writers will be there as
well. There are few of us who have not
at some time enjoyed the delightful sto
ries of Richard Malcolm Johnston, racy
as they are. of tbe Bouth, or the tales of
Thomas C. Janvier, also redolent in
fancy of the sonth, the southwest and
the land of tlie Azteds. They will both
bo at the Chicago congress, and so, for
that matter, will be James Jeffrey Roche,
who succeeded to the editorship of tho
Boston Pilot when Boyle O'Reilly died;
Nugent 'Robinson, the poet and story
writer, of Now York; Conde B. fallen,
of Church Progress, in St. Louis; Man
ley Tello, of The Catholio Universe,
Cleveland, and any number of other
Catholic laymen of a literary turn.
Eugene Kelly, the great New York
banker, will be.a delegate in all proba
bility, as will be James J. Farrelly, the
head of the American News company,
and his bosom friend, John D, Keiley,
of Brooklyn, commandant Of tho Order
of St Gregory, the great and Close friend
of Cardinal Gibbons. Morganir. O'Brien,
of the New York supremo bench, will be
E resent, and John Good, named count by
ieo XIJI, and Riohard Crqker, head of
the famous organisation Irhown as Tam
many Hall, will very likely be among
the delegates, as wili be Henry L. Hoguet,
another successful feew Yorker.
In addition to these laymen, every
prominent church official, in the United
States will participate in the coming
meeting in Chicago, beaded by Cardinal
Gibbons. Every college will send its
best scholars. Headed by tho gifted Dr.
Keane, the national university at Wash
ington will bo represented by ita ablest
professors. Indeed the flower of tbe Ro
man Catholic ohurch in this its
brains and its wealth and aU that is
best in it, will be represented in Chicftgo,
and it is believed that tho result will be
the most imposing church congress ever
held in the United States.

LOS ANGELES HEBALD: MONDAY MORNING, FEBKtTARY 20, 1893.
PAINTED OUT THE LEGS.
The Way a churchman Settled a Thaat
rical Potter.
Los Angeles is always slightly behind
the eastern cities in the way of fsds,
crusades or reforms, but these agitations
reach here in due time. The crusade
against theatrical posters of leg shows re
cently agitated by the good blue-blooded
people of Boston, while a long time
coming has at lost reached the Angelic
city. It was all caused by the appear
ance of the Spider and the Fly company
here last week. One oi tbe styles of
posters used is about six feet high by
four acioat. It represents Horatio
Pickles talking with a shapely young
lady in red tights, who impersonates
Mepbisto. Among other places in the
city one oi these lithographs was posted
by the side entrance oi the First Baptist
church on Broadway.
Some very righteous member of the
church was filled with holy horror when
he saw tbe sacreligious picture within
three feet of the church. There that
vile picture stared him in the face, des
ecrating the side door of the church
and polluting the minds of the
young people. Something must be
done. First he started to tear
the sign down but his attempts
were fruitless. He was in desperation.
Finally a bright ides flashed upon Inn.
Marching to a paint shop he purchased
a long-handled paint brush and a bucket
of the blackest paint in tbe shop. Thus
armed be went back and applied the
paint. He covered tbe shapely legs en
tirely, and they were soon a
thing of the past, being en
tirely hidden behind tbe curtain
oi black paint. The impromptu sign
painter was about to cover tbe young
woman's bead too, but a feeling of re
gret seized him, so he left that portion
of her anatomy alone. Mr. Pickles, the
lady's side partner, was not touched.
At the last accounts the pair were still
hobnobbing by the church door. Tbe
young woman appeared pleased at tbe
kindness of tbe sexton in providing her
with covering from these foggy nights.
PREHISTORIC IRRIGATIONISTS.
The Remains of Old Canals in Arizona
and the Story They Tell.
It ia the distant that ever apnea's
moat atrongly to the imagination. For
the exploration of the ruins of Africa, of
Asia and Europe, thousands of dollars
are annually expended by Americana,
although in such work they are merely
following in the footsteps of multitudes
who have preceded them, with tbe
chancea of throwing new light on the
past or the making of important archaeo
logical diaooveriea reduced to the mini
mum.
While this is being done abroad it ia
to be regretted tbat ao little intereat ia
manifeated in similar work in the United
Statee, although there ia no more inter
eating field in the world. Especially ia
thia true of tbe aouthweat, and particu
larly of the valleys of the Oila and Salt
rivera, where men of tbe preaentday live
on bread produoed by land wbich is irri
gated from ditches constructed ao long
ago tbat not even a tradition exists
oi their buildera, for while
savant and antiquarian may call glibly
the builders of the old world, and trip
pingly tell even of tbe whims of the
rulere of the Euphratea, the Tigris and
the Nile, on our own continent exist, the
remains of a past race covering valleys
as great aa thoae of either stream, and
0 f wbich no man knows aught. If
it is interesting to watch the seed
taken from the mummy closed
3000 years ago blossom again
into life and mature into ripened
grain, it is certainly no leea interesting
to watch tbe canal built by a people for
gotten centuriee ago once more filled
with the eparkle of water haetening to
quench tbe thirst of fields tilled by a
new race of men! This ia being done in
Arizona, and done bo rapidly and
thoroughly that it will be but a few
yeara before the last trace oi a people
mighty in their day will be swept away.
How numerous these people were it is
impossible to say. Not even an attempt
baa been made to number the ruined re
mains oi their cities and pueblos. They
were ao numeroua, though, that they
must have been counted by the millions,
despite tbe fact tbat it is a commonly
accepted idea that the entire population
of the North American continent, prior
to the Columbian discovery, did not ex
ceed a million.
The mystery of their coming is no
greater than that attending their going.
Why after generations bad lived and
died, cities bad been built and tbe deaert
reclaimed, they ehould have disap
peared, leaving not even tradition be
hind them, iB one of those few myster
ies of the human race etill unanswered.
The condition in wbich tbeir canals
were left—even to the smallest lateral—
abowa tbat so far aa tbeir irrigation
system was concerned it waa in a
perfect condition, perhaps aa perfect aa
it had ever been. Through it the land
they inhabited bad reached ite utmoat
limit of productiveness, and that, too,
to such a degree that millions could be
supported by its products. The remains
01 their cities, too, indicate no gradual
decay before their abandonment. On
the contrary, everything points to a
land prosperous and populous, from
which in a single day, apparently, ita
people have been ewept aa tbe winds of
the desert sweep before it the drifting
sand.
It ia a matter of general congratula
tion that an intelligent and earnest, ef
fort iB now being made by tbe Inatitute
of American Archaeology, through ite
eminent preeident, tbe Hon. Seth Low,
to make a thorough exploration of thoae
ruins. Such a work, while of the great
est intereat to the preeent, would each
year grow more and more valuable with
tbe rapid disappearance of the aboriginal
race, while without doubt many new
and important discoveries connected
with the older civilization of tbe North
American continent would be tbe re
sult.—[Win. 0. O'Neil in Irrigation

FIFTY YEARS IN BED.
The Sad Existence of Nits Winston
Haded.
Over 50 years of phyaical pain and al
most perfect helplessness was the lot oi
Misa Mary Winston, who died at the
home of her aiater in Downey, in thia
county, on Sunday evening. Bays the
Pomona Progress. She lived s(i years,
and all but three of them were paaaed as
a helpless sufferer in bed. She fell from
her mother's arms when an infant in
1839, and suffered a shock to her spine
and nerves tbat rendered her totally un
able to walk. Later, a stiffening of her
jointa set in and for 35 yeara ahe was not
able to even get out of bed, and for near
ly 20 years could not help herself to food
or drink.
She waa deeply interested in all new
books and current affairs, and, having
large means at her disposal, caused
booke to be read to her day after day.
She was liited about on sheets and fed
like a child, but never complained about
her hard fate. Her greatest disappoint
ment waa in not being able to see
President Harrison when he passed
through Downey in May, 1891. She
eoulu not be taken to tbe depot in her
bed to see the president, as she had
planned, becauae of tbe inclemency of
the weather.
It is related that ahe once agreed to
give |1()0,000 to a famous specialist on
nervous diseases if he could help her so
that ahe would be able to walk 10 steps
in succession, but tbe physician could
do nothing. Miss Winston left $140,000
worth of property to her aiater and to
tbe Boston home for cripples.
Rush Cherry Trees.
Cherry trees can be dwarfed and
grown almost in any shape, the same aa
apple, pear and plum trees. It is gen
erally believed that cherries away from
walla can only be grown aa standards.
Thia ia a mistake, however, aa the cherry
baa been pruned and trained to grow in
regular buah form. The beet varietiea
for this purpose are the May Duke and
Bigarreau.
Cut tbe bushes down to within 18
inches of the ground and induce four or
five branches to spring out from the
trunk. The second season cut tbe limbs
back one-half, leaving eeven or eight
branches to form the body of the dwarfed
bush. If this dwarfing la not kept up
and the tree pruned back heavily it will
refuse to bear fruit. Trees grown in this
form cix to eight feet high are eaelly
managed and in proportion to the apace
they cover tbey bear a fine return of
fruit.

than the common varieties now used. It is
probably the best premium ofTer ever made on
the Pacific Coast, and old as well as new sub
scribers may avail themselves of it. The only
requirement Is a cash remittance. Those who
have already paid in advance can have their
subscriptions extended by remitting fifty cents
on the weskly, and seventy-five cents on the
dally, and will receive the seed package free of
postage or other charge. A large quantity of
the seeds will not, of course, be sent to anyone,

experimented with at the various state agri
cultural stations throughout the country with
the same gratifying results.
